Been down, but I've come back brighter,
Sun hurts me, if I try to fight her,
I won't be sat here waiting,
I won't be sat here waiting,
I won't be sat here waiting for it,
So come and take me on.

Sometimes, the black hole's inside ya,
But if you can just lighten up yourself,
It will make you stronger,
I won't be sat here waiting,
I won't be sat here waiting,
I won't be sat here waiting for it,
So come and take me on.

Get up
I've been down, but I've come back brighter,
Sun hurts me, if I try to fight her,
I won't be sat here waiting,
I won't be sat here waiting,
I won't be sat here waiting,
I won't be sat here waiting,
For you, so come and take me,
So come and take me on and on and on

General CommentI don't really get it. As a teenager, I put a lot of courage from this song, for fighting on in bad times and hard feelings. But now I guess I listen more carefully to songlyrics and there are a few things I don't see clear in this. So if anyone could help me: it would be very great!

The basic idea I get from the song is: when you feel bad, when you are down, it doesn't help by just sitting and waiting for better times. You have to fight and make it better yourself.

I don't know, is that right?

But then, if I got that right, I don't see how these lines match in it:

"sun hurts me, if I try to fight her"

--> seems to say that if you're fighting against these things, that you just get disappointed? Or is the sun a metaphor for fighting impossible fights? And saying that you have to clear out the possible things that you can change?

" I won't be sat here waiting for it, (or for you in the last chorus), so come and take me on"

--> If his general message is that you have to take care of yourself and of your good times (or: lighten up yourself and get stronger), here he seems to ask this to another person and that seems contradictory for me...
